Abstract Introduction: neuropathy is a condition in which the peripheral nervous system is disrupted. The study of the effects of antioxidants on the performance improvement of this system is vital. This study was aimed at the investigation of the effects of date extract on nerve conduction velocity, distal latency, and wave height of the sciatic nerve in male rats. Materials and Methods: thi...

Aim: To study the various electrophysiological changes in the motor conduction, sensory conduction and F wave latencies of acute Guillain-Barre Syndrome patients. Methods: Sixteen patients with acute GBS were included in this study. They were subjected to various nerve conduction studies (NCS) following standardized procedures. The mean values obtained for the various nerve conduction parameter...

Directly measured sinoatrial conduction time was compared with sinoatrial conduction time assessed simultaneously by the single premature atrial stimulus technique in 59 patients: 20 with normal sinus function, 35 with sinus dysfunction, and four with sinus bradycardia but negative indirect methods. In patients with normal sinus function direct sinoatrial conduction time was 102.5+34 ms (mean ±...

It is well known that the sodium current (I(Na)) and the degree of gap-junctional electrical coupling are the key determinants of action potential (AP) conduction in cardiac tissue. Immunohistochemical studies have shown that sodium channels (NaChs) are preferentially located in intercalated disks (IDs). Using dual immunocytochemical staining, we confirmed the colocalization of NaChs with conne...
